Our big interview days are coming up this month! We've all been preparing to welcome our interviewees, get to know each other, and have important conversations that will lead to choosing our 2016-2017 incoming cohort. Meanwhile we continue to make important updates to our Centre! Things are always growing and changing.

Exciting news! We have received program recognition for the Couple and Family Therapy (MSc program) from the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. This is a reflection of a team effort on the part of many faculty, staff, and others and the success is a tribute to that collaborative effort. Yay team!!!
